AN IRIsH DYNAMrrER.
The Disturber Of q Chicago AnGA-
Coercion Meeting.

OHIoAdo, May i0.-There was q sensa-
tional incident ct the anti-coeroion meet.
ing at Battery d last night. A few
minutes before 8 o'clock man was seen
pushing his way toward the platform.
He was busily engaged distributing a
flaming red circular. Word went round
that the man was an intruder, and one Of
the committee Of arrangements was sent
TO know his business there and how he
came to be disturbing the meeting. One
glance at the circular settled 1t and the
peddler Of red paper was incontinently
hustled toward the door. He resisted
and fought like bulldog. Two OF
three stalwart policemen were called to
the scene and the intruder was dragged
outside of the building. His pockets
were literally stuffed with circulars, and
as the officers shook him into submission
a shower of red handbills fell from every
fold in his clothes. These circulars read
as follows: "By Irishmen Ireland will be
free No home rule Total separation,
nothing else Dynamite, the indigesti.
BILE pill, for John Bull United reyolu.
tions l. O. r."
No one knew what the last three letters
represented, and the dynamiter was asked
to explain. He would not offer any ex.
PLANTATION, and the patrol took him to the
armory. To reporter he said his name
was William E. Fitzpatrick, and that he
was painter by trade. Eyes; am Q
dynamiter" said he land I've been Q
Fenian all my life. I believe in dynamite
as the only power for Ireland. Oh, wont
Ireland rejoice when ii reaches that
country that an Irishman was locked ur
in Chicago for preaching dynamite"

Wilmington, Thursday, May u. 1887

The report comes that the Republican
members Of the Rhode Island legislature
are schsming to defeat the viii Of the
people Of the state as expressed last
month at the polls. The new Legislature,
which viii be Democratic on joint ballot,
will meet in Newport the last week in the
current month 10 seat the newly elected
governor and appoint large number of
state officers, among them the state
auditor, sheri1fs of tho several counties
and clerks and justices of the courts.
The appointments are made by the
two houses in joint convention and,
In ease Of q failure TO appoint, the present
incumbents hold over. The programme
set up by the old ring is for the Senate,
which is Republican by q majority OF
three, to decline to go into joint session,
thus blocking the appointment business
Not unnaturally the victorious Democrats
are very much stirred up over the pros
poet and, as a dispatch says: ''The com
ing legislature bids fair to be the mosl
exciting known in the State since the day
Of DORIS rebellion"

Editor Gazette. Shall the people Of
Brandywine hundred submit 10 coercion
and thus be driven into helpleas sub
lection by the tyrannicai presumption OF
. Democratic LegisiEtuss, who passed
law few days before they adjourned
compelling our road Commissioners TO
sell the public roads In order to have than
repaired, thus depriving the majority Of
taxpayers Of their civil rights and privi-
leges Of earning part Of their tar work
ing ON the public roadsf A monarchical
government can do nothing more. This Is
certainly coercion, and Ia undoubtedly
contrary 10 the first great principle Of the
general government Of the United
States +; through which God was
then able to give the colonists their
first birth Of sovereign freedom
and Interchangeable civil rights; by which
the colonists through the help Of God,
were then successfully able, In spite of
the coercive power of England, TO form
and bring forth the best democratic
government that ever God has given 10
the keeping of the Gentiles, signifying
they were against the despotio power Of
old England who then tried to ooerce the
colonists into helpless subsection and
into paying tax without representation.
Now, Mr.. Editor, what right has the Leg
islature of Delaware to coerce Brandy
wine hundred, in the absence of her nm
doubled right of representation, which
was filthy ooeroive trick of the
Democrats county committee in order 10
coefce that honest, good man, Mr.. Lore,
who stands the highest in the general
esteem of his fellow voters in Delaware
and especially in Brandywine hundred.
Hence II is manifest, according to the first
great fundamental principle Of the United
States, that Brandywine hundred stands
exempt from tax this year. Come, let us
| pay no tax, so that we may have An op,
| portunity of testing the legality of our
sovereign civil rights.
Again, Mr.. Editor, am dead against
any law that would presume 10 trammel
our God.giyen civil rights, which the gen.
eral government is bound to give TO the
freemen of Delaware, Notwithstanding
our high sovereign rights by which the
men of Brandywine hundred are the de-
cided owners of the land. And yet the
despotic coercive power of the Legisla
ture destroys this sovereign title and, still
worse, it uses the land owner as foo
and not capable of selling his own land
to the corporation. Then our king
Legislature comes in aSS appoints
a guardian commission and self
the land from the poor helpless
eoerced owner. Despotic Russia canno
beat this. In view of these facts IL Ger
tainly was foolishness for Governor
Biggs to run to Philadelphia at break
neck speed to talk about England ooercinl
Ireland, which was none of his business
while il he will open his mind he will
find we have plenty of coercion in Della
ware, especially in the late street marke
sham laws in Wilmington, which ough

II is encouraging to read of the laying
Of the last block ON the marble work of
Philadelphia's new city hall. 1t is about
is years since this building was started
and over 90, 900, 900 have been expended
on il thus far. It has now reached a
hight OF 337 feet and there is q tower Of
metal work 200 feet high to go on top of
'''s. Whsn-the building is finished the
Philadelphians will be able to boast of a
city hall that will overtcp all of
the pyramids and cathedrals of the
old world. There ought to be some
satisfaction in this reflection, coupled
with the fact shat while the building has
been in progress the city debt has been
considerably reduced and the tax rate
lowered" But the Press, from which
paper this quotation is taken, is not
happy, notwithstanding. 1t dwells upon
how much street paving the millions ex.
pended on the new city hall would have
paid for. Wilmington has no new city
hall, and no prospect of one, but her
debt keeps on mounting upward all the
same.

this afternoon, in the court of common
pleas, handed down an opinion in the
case OF the commonwealth against
Ok State Treasurer Bailey TO recover $70,-
OOO or more OF state moneys lost through
the failure Of the Exchange Bank Of
Bradford. Pending settlement with the
sureties OF the bank, the attorney general
entered suit against the state treasurer.
In his defence General Bailey claimed that
he was not liable for the reason that the
state treasurer is not liable for the loss of
money deposited in banks under the acts
Of Assembly of 1874 and 1876. Judge
Simonton holds that he is liable. The
case will be taken to the Supreme Court.
